Lenovo is no stranger to eclectic laptop designs, having introduced laptops with ultrawide displays as well as folding laptops in the past. One of their most recent ones—if you don’t count their proof of concept transparent laptop—is the Yoga Book 9i, which landed in Malaysia last year as the world’s first full-sized dual OLED display laptop. Lenovo has since given it some new hardware, refreshing it for this year with the latest silicon from Intel.
Lenovo Yoga Book 9i Malaysia pricing and availability
The Yoga Book 9i is already available for purchase on the Lenovo Malaysia website. Now technically speaking, its base configuration with an Intel Core Ultra 7, 16GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD is priced at RM9,629 on the website, but due to discounts at time of writing is available for just RM9,088.82.
You can upgrade several components of course. Doubling the amount of memory for instance from 16GB to 32GB will cost you an additional RM300, while doubling the storage to a 1TB SSD will cost you an extra RM270. Adding both of those will raise the price tag to RM10,199, but again thanks to the Lenovo website applying discounts, the price upon checking out becomes RM9,626.85.
Lenovo Yoga Book 9i specs
It’s hard to miss what makes the Yoga Book 9i such a stand out laptop: those dual OLED displays. The Yoga Book 9i sports not one but two identical 13.3-inch, PureSight OLED touchscreen panels with a 2880 x 1800p resolution capable of outputting 400nits of brightness, full coverage of the DCI-P3 colour gamut and support for Dolby Vision along with DisplayHDR True Black 500 certification.
Included with the Yoga Book 9i is a Bluetooth keyboard, a stylus pen, a folio case, wireless earbuds and a mouse. These included accessories essentially give you a complete mobile workstation that lets you use both displays stacked one over the other with the folio case as an origami-inspired kickstand, while placing the Bluetooth keyboard over the bottom half turns the Yoga Book 9i into a more conventional laptop, complete with a ‘touchpad’ appearing on the exposed section of the bottom display.
Under the hood, Lenovo has kitted out the Yoga Book 9i with the latest Intel Core Ultra 7 155U processor, a 24W chip that’s been mated to up to 32GB of LPDDR5X 7467MHz RAM and up to a 1TB PCIe Gen 4 SSD. No discrete graphics here though, so you’ll have to make do with its Intel Xe integrated graphics to run both displays. As for I/O, you get three USB-C Thunderbolt 4 ports, along with support for WiFi 6E and Bluetooth 5.1 wireless connectivity.
Other features of note here include an 80Whr battery that Lenovo says will be good for up to 24 hours of local video playback on a single display, with up to 15 hours of playback on both displays. There’s also four 2W speakers tuned by Bowers & Wilkins with Dolby Atmos certification in the hinge, along with a 1080P IR webcam with a privacy shutter.
